Toile Ivy Dress

Taking your fashion cues from your curtains may seem a tad Scarlett O'Hara, but sometimes the best style ideas come from unlikely places. Our newest home-to-fashion obsession is toile, which we're seeing all over the season's most ladylike pieces. Here's how to wear it without looking like a tablecloth:

Small and delicate Tone down an already busy pattern by opting for small prints and muted colors. We love the fine lines on this toile de Jouy blazer ($118) and the barely there contrast on J. Brand's baroque skinny jeans ($202). This Band of Outsiders cotton button-down ($325) is demure enough to pair with just about anything.

As an accessory Not ready to wear the look from head to toe? Opt for one pointed accessory, like a double-wrap watch ($200), a pair of sneakers ($40) or a sophisticated umbrella ($140). This darling tote ($15) is the perfect grocery store carry-along.
